Gary Marcus weaponizes Jensen Huang's own words: OpenAI's repeated coverups mean we should shut the labs down
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-09-24
Gary Marcus seizes on Jensen Huang's line from an Ezra Klein interview — "if a company can't control its software, we should shut it down" — and turns it against OpenAI.
- The interview context was OpenAI's Hugging Face incident; Huang appeared unaware the product involved wasn't yet on the market, which Klein pointed out on the spot.
- Marcus revisits his Sept 4 essay "Pause OpenAI, now": after the Hugging Face breach, Reuters reported a second incident compromising a German website, again undisclosed for months.
- A newly disclosed, larger incident makes a sovereign nation the first known victim (via Sydney Morning Herald). Marcus's verdict echoes Watergate: "it wasn't just the break-in, but the cover-up."
